We went to this house hoping for a nice week retreat at the beach for our family of 4, and we had exactly what we were hoping and expecting: a nice confortable house with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a fully equiped kitchen (laundry machine and dish washer included), everything we needed if we wanted to cook. The outside area is at the same time very simple and beautifull, with many local fruit trees, a small pool, and a table with chairs and strechers turned to an open area where you can see all the roundabouts until the sea. Bedrooms were confortable (pillows not perfect for me but each person has their own taste), and also the living room. We did not want to be in the middle of a busy town, but also not very far, and that was exactly what we got by being just 2 minutes away from Moncarapacho, a small and sweet village but with a big enough supermarket and some nice restaurants. We were also near some of the best beachs in Algarve. The house has AC (might be very needed in peak summer), but also features to keep you warm in the winter time. Also TV. Only thing that was not working so well for my needs was the wifi, but I guess that helped me having a more relaxed vacation with my kids. Communication with the owner was easy and nice all the time, all the info is provided on time.

Had a very pleasant stay at Casa Ruina at the end of July beginning of August 2022. Well equipped house to enable us to enjoy our time there. Given the scorching temperatures the air conditioning was a godsend!! Beds were comfy, although personally we did not find the pillows so - but that’s more a matter of personal taste. Very handy to have a washing machine so we didn’t need to take lots of dirty laundry home. We made use of the pool every day. Our 11 year old Son especially enjoyed this. Moncarapacho is a pleasant town and the house is in a good location to travel to various places in the Algarve. We would definitely like to return one day.

Das Haus hat eine tolle Berglage, sodass man über Grün bis zum Meer schauen kann. Am Strand in Fuseta ist man schon in 10 min. Moncarapacho mit Restaurants/Supermarkt/Bäcker ist in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Haus ist nicht nur liebevoll eingerichtet, sondern auch sehr gut ausgestattet (gerade die Küche!). Der Pool hatte Ende Juni eine sehr angenehme Temperatur. Es ist ruhig und sauber - was will man mehr. Klare Empfehlung!

A wonderful home, 1km outside Moncarapacho. Sunny breakfasts on the patio. We were in the Algarve to look for our own retirement home in the sun and this was a perfect 'try before you buy' test location. The nature reserve 'Rio Formosa' is just 10 minutes drive away with Olhao, its fish market and supermarkets just 5 minutes further. Many local circular walks into the countryside and mountains start from just 15 minutes walk from the house. There are also beach walks just 5km away at Fuseta.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful property which is ideally located on the Algarve in Moncarapacho. We cannot wait to return! The house is very well equipt and set in private and peaceful settings.

Ein Haus, das in allem unseren Wünschen entspricht. Große, sonnige Terrasse, Wohnküche mit allen erdenklichen Küchengeräten, großer Garten, Ofen und Holz zum Heizen. Wir kommen gern nochmal.

La casa está muy bien. Está equipada con todo lo que se puede necesitar, está muy cerca de las playas (+- 10 min en coche) y el dueño es muy amable y atento, nos envió un resumen de las instrucciones de todo en ingles antes de nuestro viaje (aire, electrodomésticos, Tv, etc) y en la casa hay guías adicionales de todo en alemán, como de visitas por la zona, más detalles adicionales de la casa (que se traducen fácilmente con Google Translator). Praya Nova fue nuestra playa de destino habitual. Se coge un barquito en Olhao y estas allí en 5 min. A finales de Agosto - principios de Septiembre, estábamos prácticamente solos en la playa. Arena blanca, temperatura del agua perfecta, un lado con olas y otro tranquilo. Aunque no tiene servicios, si se va preparado, es perfecta.

Top eingerichtetes Haus auch mit 2 Kleinkindern wunderbar bewohnbar! Während unserer Zeit v.O.konnten wir die süßen Feigen vom Baum genießen! Alle schönen Örtchen und Traumstrände sind gut erreichbar.

Petite maison sympa. Toutefois la piscine est rudimentaire. La filtration n'est pas efficace et il fallait passer 1 h tous les matin à la nettoyer. Maillot de bains clair s'abstenir car ils ressortent verts dus à un développement d'algues à cause des grosses chaleurs. Quand les chiens aux alentours n'aboient pas c'est calme. Dans l'ensemble nous avons passé un bon séjour. Petit bémol sur l'absence de climatisation dans la chambre parentale.

Wir haben letzte Woche Urlaub in Casa Ruina gemacht. Wir waren überrascht, dass das Haus für Familien perfekt ausgestattet ist (Spielzeug, Bücher). Die offene Küche ließ uns nichts vermissen (Mixer, Kaffeemaschine). Die ruhige Lage und das großzügige Gelände laden zur Entspannung ein. Für den Kinderpool war es leider noch zu kühl.. Wir kommen gerne noch einmal wieder!
